I think you will make more progress if you begin by telling the folks on the Strong Mail List what you already know about your Strongs. A good way to do this is by completing the Ancestor Chart that is integrated into the Guest Register on my Strong Quest web site. There is a hotlink to the Guest Register on the opening page of my web site. http://ro.com/~rts2/index.html Your completed Ancestor Chart will be circulated to all subscribers to the Strong Mail List. Here are a few web sites that contain data on Strongs of Great Britain, particularly England. http://ro.com/~rts2/eng.html /eng-us1.html /eng-us2.html /eng-us3.html /ire.html /scot.html All of the above pages can be accessed from Page 2 of the Table of Contents: http://ro.com/~rts2/toc2.html The Strong Family Association of America (SFAA) web site had data on the English ancestry of John Strong who migrated from Somerset Shire, England, to Massachusetts in 1635. This data was contributed by Martha F. (Brani) Strong. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/4715 Martha has another web sites at this URL, called "Welcome to My World": It contains additional data about Strong connections in England, particularly the West Country, or "Wessex" (including Dorset, Devon, and Somerset Counties). http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/7905 [Recently I realized that "Welcome to My World" was the name of a song recorded by the country-western singer with a golden voice, the late Jim Reeves.] David B. (Dave) Strong has an electronic manuscript that concerns Strongs, Strangs, L'Estrange, etc., of Great Britain. See particularly his Chapter 13 on Lineages. The emphasis is on Strongs, etc., from Ireland and including Scot-Irish. http://geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/7530 On his personal website, William L. (Bill) Strong, has some data on his Irish ancestry. You should find a link on his Strong Genealogy Network web site. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/5744 There are undoubtedly more, but this should keep you busy for awhile. You can perform a search on the Internet Family Finder for anyone named Strong or Stronge, and this long list of "hits" will include Strong and Stronge in England, Ireland, Scotland, or Wales I recommend you begin by searching for Stronge, the more ancient spelling. http://www.familytreemaker.com/ifftop.html There are several genealogy databases you can search online. Links to these are provided at this URL: http://ro.com/~rts2/links.html Keep in mind that there are many errors in some of these early pedigrees. You should attempt to acquire copies of primary (original) source documents wherever possible to document your ancestry. Good Searching. We hope to learn more about your Strong connectons soon.
